What is the reason why my face doesn't sweat

Many people do not want their faces to sweat, as this can easily ruin their makeup and cause damage to the skin. However, if the face does not sweat, it also indicates that there is a problem with the development of neurological function, which can also cause harm to the body and may even lead to certain skin diseases. Therefore, there are many reasons why the face does not sweat, and they need to be judged clearly.

Little or no sweating on the skin surface may be caused by abnormalities in the sweat glands themselves or in some other level of the neural pathways. The causes are as follows:

A little or all of the skin surface

(1) Congenital hypoplasia of sweat glands or lack of sweat glands can manifest as systemic or localized anhidrosis.

(This doesn’t matter much and won’t affect your life)

(2) Certain skin diseases, such as severe ichthyosis, scleroderma, leprosy, radiation dermatitis, skin atrophy, etc., can cause localized anhidrosis.

(3) Nerve damage, such as transverse myelitis, polio, paraplegia, and local damage to the sympathetic nerves, medulla oblongata, and pons, can cause systemic or localized anhidrosis.

(4) Certain visceral diseases, such as diabetes, diabetes insipidus, chronic nephritis, myxedema, malignant tumors, etc., in addition, vitamin A deficiency, etc., can also cause systemic anhidrosis.

Except for anhidrosis caused by congenital sweat gland hypoplasia, which currently cannot be cured, if anhidrosis is caused by other diseases, the primary disease should be actively treated. People without sweat cannot regulate their body temperature in summer. Those who are extremely unwell can move to low-temperature areas or adopt artificial cooling methods, such as installing air conditioners indoors.
